Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon's special demo accidentally leaks a big chunk of the Pokedex

Good morning one and all, it's a very exciting day today because it's finally time to get our hands on the Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon demos.

*The following article contains spoilers, so if you want to keep the mystery click away now*

If you missed it in one of my previous articles, the Pokemon Company announced that starting today you can get your hands on a Special Demo Version of the game. This'll introduce you to the Alola region and gives you a chance to try out and keep Ash-Greninja.

However a report by Kotaku this morning brings to light the fact that Pokemon Sun and Moon's demo apparently leaks most of the Pokedex from the game. Thanks to hackers, data miners, and certain Pokemon sources, the public demo contains files revealing the sprites of many unannounced Pokemon, the final evolution of starters, and around 800 Pokemon in total.


The revealed Pokemon include the ever adorable Ash-Pikachu, new appearances of Sun and Moon's first-generation Alola forms, new species, and new Ultra Beasts.

Check out the Special Demo Version here on Nintendo's website. It'll help ease the pain of waiting another month for the official release.
